CEE Rail 2008: the meeting place for Central & Eastern European rail
Where the leading CEE rail operators meet to shape the future

CEE Rail 2008 is the region's leading rail conference, designed to provide valuable insights into Central & Eastern European rail - what is driving this booming industry, updates on current and future projects, and what challenges are being faced.

Now is a time for optimism within the CEE rail industry. EC plans for liberalisation are starting to bear fruit and many of the 2007 - 2013 projects are now well underway. We are seeing a rise in the number of strategic partnerships, privatisations and mergers as operators fight to emerge as the leaders in a healthily competitive market. In conjunction with aggressive strategies for the development of the region's infrastructure this all points to a very positive future.

Now featuring the "Intermodal Transport & Logistics Day"

Due to increasing demands from the EC for a rise in levels of sustainable co-modality, and increasing demands from customers for a cost-effective door-to-door logistics solution, intermodal transport is now a key concern for the CEE region.

The "Intermodal Transport & Logistics Day" will bring together all the key figures from rail operators, trucking firms, shipping companies, intermodal operators, freight forwarders, ports, intermodal hubs, logistics centres and customers, with a view to shaping a harmonious and prosperous co-modal future for the CEE region.
